IN PRACTICE How do I make my horse go?

It is often within the aids that we give ourselves that without realizing it, we actually end up limiting our horse's ability to go forward!

As instructors and riders it is important that we understand the impact of the aids that are used. Are they helping? OR hindering? the horse in what you are asking him to do.

Recently I was having a conversation with a friend of mine another instructor on what where the aids for a transition to go from a walk to a trot. And to be honest through the years it had changed.

So why would it change? Shouldn't the aid for that very basic task of going from walk to trot remain the same? Well you would think so wouldn't you?
